Outside Guang County, the heads of the various villages arrived one by one. Hua Kai had just ordered someone to escort the head of the Geng Family to the West Courtyard when he saw the Yue Jia.
"Yo!
I wouldn't have believed it if someone told me that they let a doll become the head of the family. Old Hua, is the selection of the head of the Fort Wah Ka so childish? "
The head of the Yue Jia, Yue Jiateng, was also in his sixties. He had an arrogant look on his face as he walked over with his son, Yue Xiang. Before the head of the Yue Jia could say anything, his son, Yue Xiang, spoke first.
The people of the Fort Wah Ka were furious when they heard this and were about to step forward to argue with him.
Yue Xiang was in his thirties and was the third son of Yue Jiateng. He was at Level 4 of the Pneumatic stage and was slightly weaker than his Fourth Uncle, Hua Zihuan. He usually had a good relationship with the Hua family, but no one had expected him to be like this today.
Before Hua Kai could reply, Wah Tzu Chi spoke first.
"The Hua family's choice of head of the Hua family is their own business. Does Yue Jia think that we have made the wrong choice and want to help us choose?" Wah Tzu Chi was fearless at this critical moment.
"Hmph!
I, the Yue Jia, have no interest in that. I heard that Old Master Hua was seriously injured and passed away.
If you had said something earlier, the Yue Jia would have helped you out on account of our past relationship! "Yue Xiang said proudly.
The head of the Yue Jia seemed to have acquiesced to his son's words and stood aside without saying anything. Wah Tzu Chi wanted to retort but was stopped by Hua Kai.
"Thank you for your kindness, Yue Jia. Please go to the main hall and rest. After the funeral, the Hua family will know everything."
The Yue Jia thought that Hua Kai meant that he would tell everyone the truth after the funeral. What the people of the Fort Wah Ka wanted to hear was how the Old Master would face it.
"Hmph!" Yue Xiang snorted and left with the head of the Yue Jia.
"The Han family from Guang County has arrived …"
At this moment, everyone heard that the Han family had sent people over..
The Yue Jia and his son's eyes wide open. They couldn't help but wonder why the Han family was here.
"The Shen Family from Guang County has arrived …"
Another group of people entered Fort Wah Ka. When the Yue Jia and his son saw the Shen Family's representative, they couldn't remain calm. The Han family and the Shen Family were willing to be on good terms with Fort Wah Ka. Today, they actually wanted to show off to the Hua family. Moreover, the Han family and the Shen Family had brought gifts. They were obviously here to cause trouble!
Could it be that the disaster that the Hua family suffered was fake?
When the Yue Jia and his son saw this, they quickly turned around and prayed that the Han family and the Shen Family's representative would not see them.
What no one noticed was that when the Chen family and the Yi family arrived at Fort Wah Ka, they saw that the people from the Han family and the Shen Family stopped at the door and didn't enter.
The two families had already discussed that they would show off to Fort Wah Ka today. At this time, no matter what, they would not let the Hua family go. When they saw this, they felt nervous and turned around to go home to get the gifts.
Hua Kai could see their attitude towards Fort Wah Ka from the attitude of the representatives. The Han family and the Shen Family were superior. Aristocratic families treated ordinary families the same way. Hua Kai just needed to treat them well.
The Huang Jia and the Geng family had the best relationship with the Hua family. However, the system showed that the family alliance column was empty. It was unknown whether the relationship was not good enough or there were other reasons.
The Mao family and the Wan family wanted to distance themselves from the Hua family. The Yue Jia was obviously trying to use the Hua family as a stepping stone. The Yue Jiateng's father was already at the ninth level of the Qi Transforming State. This should be where they were relying on.
The Chen family and the Yi family brought so many people today. They would not let go of the opportunity to suppress Fort Wah Ka. Their hostility was much greater than the Yue Jia's.
When all the guests arrived, a black wooden coffin was carried out from the main house by the Hua family. In fact, there were only some clothes that Hua Ziming had worn in the coffin. All the Hua family members looked serious. The mourning music sounded. Hua Kai walked at the front of the group in mourning clothes. His three uncles and more than ten family members followed behind. After leaving the village, the coffin was quickly buried. Next was the main event.
Hua Kai took his father's memorial tablet to the entrance of the village. His eldest uncle, Wong Kwong Kei, was waiting for him at the entrance. He helped Hua Kai put on a piece of black cloth and tied it to Hua Kai. Hua Kai bowed to express his gratitude.
Behind him, the head of the Geng family also tied a piece of black cloth for Hua Kai. At this time, the Han family and the Shen family were far away. They seemed to be here to laugh at the Hua family.
When the Yue Jia's father and son saw this, they could not help but sneer secretly. After all, a family's strength was the most important. They thought that the Hua family would inevitably decline without a master of the Qi Transformation Stage. Since this was the case, there was a reasonable competition. The Han family and the Shen family would not stand up for them.
After the funeral, all the guests gathered in the main hall of Fort Wah Ka. As the host, Hua Kai greeted the representatives of each family. At this time, the head of the Huang Jia family, Yue Jiateng, finally spoke.
"Fort Wah Ka has suffered such a great disaster. It is indeed heartbreaking. I wonder if you can ask Grandfather Hua to come out and see him. I heard that he was seriously injured this time. I should visit him!" Xue Jiateng suddenly said to Hua Kai.
The hall suddenly quieted down. The representatives of the Chen and Yi families smiled and looked at Hua Kai's performance. It was good that the Yue Jia was here to speak up.
The representatives of the other families waited as if nothing had happened. The Huang and Geng families did not say anything at this moment.
"Grandfather was attacked by the bandits of Hutuo Mountain and was seriously injured. However, he is fine now. As for seeing my grandfather, I have to ask him first. Ever since he moved to the West Courtyard, he rarely comes out."
Hua Kai was already giving in. Grandfather Hua had just lost his son. It was reasonable that he did not go out to see guests during his son's funeral. However, in the eyes of many people, this was a sign of weakness and a guilty conscience.
"That is really regrettable!
My Chen family also wanted to visit Grandfather Hua. Since Grandfather Hua does not want to see us, we cannot force him. Fort Wah Ka's [Space Splitter Spear] is invincible outside of Guang County. Today, can we take the opportunity to let the young people move around and learn from each other? "The head of the Chen family said.
It was normal for people to learn from each other before a meal. However, the Chen family was provoking Fort Wah Ka by mentioning the [Space Splitter Spear]. If the Hua family did not agree to the challenge, then their reputation would be ruined.
"Since the Chen family wants to test our Hua family's [Space Splitter Spear], the Hua family does not dare to refuse. How does the Chen family want to test it?"
Hua Kai spoke gently and did not lose the dignity of the head of the family. Everyone present ignored Hua Kai's age and treated him as an equal.
At this time, the representatives of the various families in the living room began to think about what role their families should play in this competition in order to obtain the greatest benefits.
In the end, Hua Kai asked for the opinions of the guests and decided that everyone would go to the martial arts field in the east of the village to compete.
Everyone left the living room and went to the Fort Wah Ka martial arts field.
All the villagers and guests in Fort Wah Ka knew that someone was going to compete with Fort Wah Ka and gathered at the martial arts field. In this world, martial arts were respected. This kind of competition was also a competition of family strength.
"This is my grandson, Chen Hao. He just turned 13 this year. Let him try Fort Wah Ka's spear first."
As soon as they arrived at the martial arts field, the head of the Chen family spoke first. It seemed that he wanted to show his face today. If he won this kind of competition, it would be of great help to his future.
After he finished speaking, a young man walked out from behind him with a wooden sword in his hand.
The young man held the three-foot wooden sword and looked at the people of Fort Wah Ka with contempt. Hua Kai checked his attributes.
Cheng Hao: Qi Accumulation Level 9
Aptitude: C
Physique: 11
Energy: 9
Willpower: 8
Mental cultivation method: Cool Breeze Technique (Yellow Rank, Low Level Mental Cultivation Method)
Spear Technique: Clear Breeze Swordsmanship (Low Yellow Rank)
Fort Wah Ka's [Space Splitter Spear] was a High Yellow Rank spear technique. It was difficult to get started, but its attack power was very strong. There were few opponents outside of Guang County. Fort Wah Ka was vaguely known as the number one village in Guang County. Hua Kai looked at the attributes of the Chen family's disciple. He was 13 years old and at the ninth level of Qi Accumulation. He must be someone that the Chen family focused on nurturing. He looked at the eager faces of the Hua family's disciples and felt worried.
The two disciples of the Hua family who were at the ninth level of Qi Accumulation had just entered the Body Tempering Realm a few days ago. It was not suitable for him to send them out. There were many disciples of the ninth level of Qi Accumulation in the family who were too old. Hua Kai's eyes swept across the Hua family's young disciples and stopped on a youth with a cold expression. That was his second uncle's son, Chinese Ink. He was one of the four B-level disciples of the Hua family.
Chinese Ink: Qi Accumulation Level 8
Aptitude: B +
Physique: 7
Energy: 9
Willpower: 12
Mental cultivation method: Meditation Secrets (Yellow Rank, Low Level Mental Cultivation Method) Small Success
Spear Art: Space Splitter Spear (High Yellow Rank)

"Brother Mo, you can start this round!" Hua Kai said.
Chinese Ink was 11 years old this year. Due to his mother's influence, he had always been cold towards Hua Kai. When he heard Hua Kai call him first, he silently walked out from the Hua family. He held a white locust tree spear in his hand. The spearhead was made of red fir wood. He walked to the center of the training field and nodded to his opponent.
The spectators at the side were not calm at this moment. Hua Kai had actually sent out a child who was around 10 years old. He was shorter than his opponent on the stage by more than a head.
When Chen Hao saw this, he immediately became furious.
"Is there no one from the Hua family who can be sent out?
Why did they send you? "Chen Hao said to Chinese Ink.
"You have to beat me first." Chinese Ink had a taciturn personality. He took out his Space Splitter Spear and waited for his opponent to attack.
When Chen Hao saw this, he could only choose to quickly finish off his opponent. His grandfather had always told him that the Hua family's Space Splitter Spear was very powerful. Today, he had to see how he could win.
Chen Hao raised his sword and attacked Chinese Ink. However, before he could even get close, he realized that Chinese Ink's spear had already blocked his path. He used his long sword to block Chinese Ink's attack and charged towards Chinese Ink. In a battle between a sword and a spear, only close combat could bring out the advantage.
At this time, Chinese Ink was not afraid at all. When he saw that his spear was blocked, he immediately turned around and swept. When he attacked his opponent, his body took a small step to the side. This small step made Chen Hao completely lose his target. The difference between the two people's battle awareness was too big.
Although Chinese Ink and Chen Hao's martial arts were both small achievements, the Space Splitter Spear was two small stages higher than the Breeze Swordsmanship. When it came to martial arts, Chen Hao was obviously not his opponent.
After ten moves, Chen Hao knew that if he continued like this, he would definitely lose. He also felt that his opponent's physical fitness was much worse than his. Therefore, after gathering his strength to exchange blows with Chinese Ink, he began to exchange injuries. The spectators at the side suddenly felt anxious.
Chinese Ink also realized this. He was two years younger than his opponent. His physical fitness was much worse than his opponent's. Moreover, he did not have the advantage in terms of Zhen Qi. At this time, it was no longer the time to compete whose martial arts were better. He made up his mind and no longer hid his strength. He quickly turned around and escaped from his opponent's attack range. He gathered all his strength and stabbed his spear towards his opponent's chest.
This spear was one of the more powerful killing moves of the Space Splitter Spear. Chen Hao saw that his opponent's attack was fierce and could not help but feel scared. He pulled back his sword to defend. Only a "bang" sound was heard. Chen Hao was sent flying a few meters away. Chinese Ink also took a step back. Both of their arms began to tremble.
Although it was only a slight change in attack and defense, Chen Hao had already lost his drive. The two continued to exchange more than ten moves.
Chinese Ink's spear tip was pressed against Chen Hao's chest. Chen Hao lost.
The surrounding audience once again saw the power of the Hua family's Space Splitter Spear. After Chinese Ink won, he silently returned to the Hua family's lineup. He stood there without saying a word.
"The Yi family would also like to challenge the Hua family's spear techniques." A voice sounded. It turned out to be a member of the Yi family. Although this Yi family member was only 16 years old, he was already in the Natal Opening Realm. Hua Kai sent out a new Natal Opening Realm disciple. The Yi family's leader practiced archery, which countered archery. The Hua family lost.
The competition had just begun, but it had already escalated to the Natal Opening Realm. The Yue, Chen, and Yi family members took turns to fight. Gradually, everyone became more and more excited. The Hua family fought seven matches in a row, five wins, one draw, and one loss. This made everyone realize the strength of the Hua family.
"I heard that Hua Jiazhu's talent is outstanding. His spear techniques were already very good at the age of 12. My Wan family's Fei Er has also been crowned as a genius since he was young. I wonder if Hua Jiazhu dares to come down and fight?" The head of the Wan family suddenly spoke.
"Haha!" The Yue Jia, Chen, and Yi families all laughed loudly.
As the owner of Fort Wah Ka, Hua Kai only needed to fight. Whether he won or lost, the Hua family would definitely lose face today. It didn't matter how much the Hua family won.
"I've been waiting for half a day. Everyone is in such a hurry to end it.
The fourth son of the Hua family, Hua Zihuan, come up if you're not afraid of death. "Hua Zihuan saw that Hua Kai was being humiliated and said in a low voice. Many people couldn't help but look over.
"Fourth Brother Hua, you're the strongest person in the Hua family right now!
Don't struggle. Join our Yue Jia. For the sake of our past friendship, we can still protect your Hua family. Otherwise … "Yue Xiang said from the side.
"With just you?
You're just a dog. Do you have the guts to come up and fight? "Hua Zihuan said slowly.
"Haha, don't be so arrogant. Let's fight. I'm not afraid of you." Yue Xiang said as he walked to the center of the training field.
Hua Kai checked Fourth Uncle's stats.
Hua Zihuan: Initial Element Realm Level 7
Aptitude: C
Vitality: 29
Energy: 26
Willpower: 32
Loyalty: 97
Mental Cultivation Method: Meditation Technique (Low Yellow Rank Mental Cultivation Method) (Large Success)
Spear Technique: Space Splitting Spear (High Yellow Rank Spear Technique) (Large Success)
Fourth Uncle had actually entered the late stages of the Initial Element Realm. All three of his stats had a slight increase. It seemed that the Heaven Seeking Stone secret realm had helped him a lot.
Hua Kai looked at Yue Xiang's stats. He was two levels lower than Fourth Uncle's. All four of his stats were more average, and his saber skills were only at the small success stage.
The two of them got into position on the stage. Yue Xiang wanted to attack first. There was no suppression in a saber and spear competition. The saber was heavier than the sword, and as long as he got close, he would have a big advantage.
A faint smile appeared on Hua Zihuan's face, as the spear in his right hand abruptly pierced out. Cheng Hao could only feel the killing intent from the spear, and he immediately brandished his saber to block it. Suddenly, an explosive sound rang out as Yue Xiang used all his strength to leap backwards.
Seeing Yue Xiang retreat, Hua Zihuan quickly rushed forward. He did not wait for his opponent to land on the ground. Cheng Hao could only use his saber to block, but he did not expect that the strength of the Pear Blossom White Wood Spear would be so great. He almost lost his grip on his saber.
Hua Zihuan was not going to let him go. His spear flew up and forced his opponent into the air. He gathered all his willpower and True Qi on his spear and stabbed it into the air.
"Ah …"
With a roar, Yue Xiang's saber fell from his hand. His right hand was broken and fell on the stage. He slowly stood up, blood dripping from his fingers. The audience below the stage took a deep breath.
"I haven't lost yet. Kill …"
After landing, Yue Xiang did not admit defeat. He used his left hand to pick up the saber on the ground and once again attacked Hua Zihuan.
Hua Zihuan would not give him a chance. Several spear strikes landed on Yue Xiang's body. Yue Xiang finally fell to the ground again. No one knew if he was dead or alive.
"Xiang 'er!"
Yue Jiateng saw his son fall to the ground. He hurriedly got up and went to the center of the stage. Seeing his son's bloody right hand, his heart was filled with hatred.
"What are you pretending for? I thought you had improved a little in the past few years!" Hua Zihuan looked at Yue Xiang on the ground and said.
